‘self-fullfilling prophecy’
Permalink  

Last night someone asked me what ‘self-fullfilling prophecy’ was in Gàdihlig.


 


I slept on it and I’m going to go with ‘fàisneachd a thig gu bùil den thoil fhèin’


 


Any other bets?

Fàisneachd fèin-coileanta.

Is fèin-coileanta an actual word or is it common practice to hyphenate words to express a foreign phrase?

Closest word I found was in Colin Mark's dictionary fèin-chùisech . Of course this is the wrong type of 'prophet'.

madainn mhath
